Students use calculators and notes to solve problems.

Then students IM classmates to compare answers.

Students check one another for accuracy.

Students can request help from classmates, too.

At home, students post requests for help and offer assistance to others using an internal blog only accessible by students in
the program.

If students need to be absent for an extended time (hospitalization,
pregnancy, extended illness, etceteras), they can remain active class participants they can remain active class participants as well as continue to get academic support from teacher and classmates.

Students are able to individualize assignments to fit their personalities.

Real-world applications bring math lessons to life
for students.

“Let me tell you why we need this need this project at our school.”

Rationale:
We have a population that has not been successful during their freshman
year. However, it has been year. However, it has been determined through testing, teacher recommendations, and middle school records, that each of these students has the ability to succeed in school.

Rationale:
Students have to overcome:
•lack of support at home•lack of support at home•lack of technical resources at home•falling behind in core subject areas
![Page 19: Microsoft Powerpoint Project K Nect Smart Phones](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052508/559964391a28ab781e8b4654/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Rationale:
Using Project K-nect Smart Phones coupled with a special academy developed just for this population would provide the just for this population would provide the
out of school support (human and technical resources) to bring the students up to grade level and provide multiple
opportunities for success.

Projected Usage:
The at-risk population of sophomores will use the phones in Geometry, Biology, use the phones in Geometry, Biology, Economics, and English II as well as in a 5th period Project K-nect Academy class, which will provide an additional credit in
technology.
